There may be a guy willing to jump in and make some.... I used to sell sets on ebay for him... He made lowering links for the Suzuki Volusia market. 1 1/2"-4" drop. He also made forward controls for them... back in 2003ish- around $50...

JSOhio, Have you tried adjusting your air pressure? This is the very first complaint we've heard. Try adding some pressure. If you have little or no pressure in the shocks you could be dropping through the stroke too easily. Standard air pressure should be around 15 psi. Do not exceed 43 psi or you can damage the shock. You'll need a Progressive hand pump to do this. Never use an air hose! Gauge mounted hand pumps are available through us for $49.95

If anyone else has any questions or would like to order a set please call me direct or email Luvernekaw@iw.net. I don't check this site everyday.

Rick, First ride I had 18lbs, when I took if out with the wife I increased it to 30lbs thinking it would help. Still same results. When my son stops by in the next few weeks I'm going to have him take a look while with both are sitting on the bike. Could be some else? Over all still enjoy the foot planted on the ground with rolling to a stop.

Yes, there are 3 settings I think. Maybe 4, but don't remember for certain.

Thanks to a steady increase in demand for these links we've upgraded from cutting them out with a plasma cutter to now professionally laser cut. Also upgraded from enamel paint to black powder coated. Overall quality and consistency are now up to a higher professional level. As of today they are also listed on Ebay . You're more than welcome to continue to call and order direct as well. If you've already ordered a set, thank you. If you haven't, now's a good time to pull the trigger, you won't regret it. They're in stock and ready to ship.

Thank you
Rick

Rick, here's an update. just got back from a 1600 mile trip and had no issues. Rode the Devil's Backbone in Texas and did not hit floorboards either. Love the new stance of bike and of my stance at a stop. Just letting you know. I'm glad to hear others are ordering them.

Thanks.

As for JSOhio, sorry you are having issues. I haven't experienced any myself. Check the pre-load level if you have plenty of air. Maybe it is set on I.
